A Seattle Real Estate Project To Keep An Eye On

Driving through South Lake Union is a bizarre experience. There are so many new projects under construction that it makes your head spin. There are a few key projects that we are paying attention to. The one that seems most relevant in terms of view impact is the full block development site at Denny and Westlake. It is the current home of the South Lake Union Discovery Center.

Since Enso was built in 2009, it has been the topic of discussion. Many buyers and brokers wanted to know what could be built and when it might be built. We’ve done a bit of research and pulled some images from the DPD Design Proposal for your review. Take a look at the photos below. It calls for a 400 foot residential tower and a 240 foot office tower. The site is 1.8 acres and sits kitty-corner to the Whole Foods and 2200 Westlake Condos/Pan-Pacific Hotel. As you can see in the aerial below, the impact would reach the following buildings. Enso (both residential and commercial), Rollin Street, 2200 Westlake and a few others. It will also have a positive impact on the neighborhood as well.

At this point, we expect the residential tower to be apartments. The retail component will be exciting. The intersection of Denny and Westlake has been a bright spot for the City connecting the Denny Triangle to the vibrant South Lake Union.
